Unification Of Ernst-Equation Backlund Transformations Using A Modified Wahlquist-Estabrook Technique; Wahlquist-Estabrook, B. Kent Harrison Aug 1983

Unification Of Ernst-Equation Backlund Transformations Using A Modified Wahlquist-Estabrook Technique; Wahlquist-Estabrook, B. Kent Harrison

Faculty Publications

The three known Backlund transformations for the Ernst equation are derived using a modification of the Wahlquist-Estabrook prolongation procedure. The modification requires that the equation to be studied be cast into a set of differential forms and their exterior derivatives, such that all coefficients are constant (a "CC ideal''). Analysis of the resulting equations produces 16 solutions composed of the three basic transformations combined with identity and other essentially trivial transformations. The group structure of the transformations is discussed. A Backlund transformation (already known) for the Ernst-Maxwell equations can be found by the same method. Promising generalizations are mentioned.

Interpreting This Constitution: The Unhelpful Contributions Of Special Theories Of Judicial Review, William W. Van Alstyne Apr 1983

Interpreting This Constitution: The Unhelpful Contributions Of Special Theories Of Judicial Review, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This paper examines several different theories surrounding judicial review and finds many of these theories lacking. Modern trends of literal interpretations and precise language have removed the optimistic nature of Constitutional language and is largely responsible for the hesitancy of other nations to adopt a supreme constitution.

A Study Of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons On An Amino Bonded Phase Liquid Chromatographic Column In The Normal And Reversed Phase, Dori Karlesky, Dennis C. Shelly, Isiah M. Warner Mar 1983

A Study Of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons On An Amino Bonded Phase Liquid Chromatographic Column In The Normal And Reversed Phase, Dori Karlesky, Dennis C. Shelly, Isiah M. Warner

Faculty Publications

Experiments were run using an n-propyl amine polar bonded phase (Chromosorb LC-9) liquid chromatographic column in both the normal and reversed phase mode. Results confirm that the mechanism of separation in the normal phase is due mainly to a charge transfer interaction between the lone pair electrons on the stationary phase nitrogen and the π electron cloud of the solute PNAs. Elution order seems to depend upon a combination of π energy, and type of ring condensation of the solute. Plots of log I versus number of aromatic carbons for catacondensed PNAs suggest that while the specific interaction is different …

Library Use Patterns Among Full- And Part-Time Faculty And Students, Jo Bell Whitlatch Jan 1983

Library Use Patterns Among Full- And Part-Time Faculty And Students, Jo Bell Whitlatch

Faculty Publications

Trends in higher education are toward part-time students and majors in professional fields which are associated with low library use. Research findings at San Jose State University, California and other academic libraries, demonstrate that declining library use may be a future trend. Declining use will further erode administrative support for library budgets. Libraries must become effective in identifying and meeting the information needs of new nontraditional students. User surveys establishing service priorities can be an effective tool in planning library service for future student and faculty populations.

Fluorine, Richard H. Langley, Larry Welch Jan 1983

Fluorine, Richard H. Langley, Larry Welch

Faculty Publications

Considering the long time in which fluorine compounds have been used it seems rather surprising that it was not isolated as an element until 1886. This long delay was not due to lack of effort, but to the reactivity of fluorine and the hazards of working with it and many of its compounds.

Mississippi's Severance Tax And Forest Resource Development Program, G. H. Weaver, Steven H. Bullard Jan 1983

Mississippi's Severance Tax And Forest Resource Development Program, G. H. Weaver, Steven H. Bullard

Faculty Publications

Mississippi's Forest Resource Development Pro- gram was the second state-sponsored forestry assistance pro- gram in the United States. It was authorized by the legislature tn 1974 in response to concerns over long-term availability of softwood timber. It is funded by a severance tax levied at the potnt of first processing. Since inception, 152,295 acres have been treated under the program. Severance tax rates were established in 1974 and remained constant until 1981. Costs rose rapidly during these years, and the only way to increase funds for the program was to cut more timber or raise the fixed tax rates, as …

Modal Control Of An Unstable Periodic Orbit, William Wiesel, William Shelton Jan 1983

Modal Control Of An Unstable Periodic Orbit, William Wiesel, William Shelton

Faculty Publications

We apply Floquet theory to the problem of designing a control system for a satellite in an unstable periodic orbit. Expansion about a periodic orbit produces a time periodic linear system, which is augmented by a time periodic control term. We show that this can be done such that a) the application of control produces only inertial accelerations, b) positive real Poincare exponents are shifted into the left half-plane, and c) the shift of the exponent is linear with control gain. We apply these developments to an unstable orbit near the Earth-Moon L3 point perturbed by the Sun. Finally, …

Activity Of Myo-Inositol-1-Phosphate Synthase In The Epididymal Spermatozoa Of Rams., M. W. Loewus, R. W. Wright, K. R. Bondioli, D. L. Bedgar, A. Karl Jan 1983

Activity Of Myo-Inositol-1-Phosphate Synthase In The Epididymal Spermatozoa Of Rams., M. W. Loewus, R. W. Wright, K. R. Bondioli, D. L. Bedgar, A. Karl

Faculty Publications

Studies of six 8-9-month-old rams showed that the specific activities of myoinositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) were highest in epididymal spermatozoa, intermediate in testis and lowest in epididymal tissue. The activity per spermatozoon decreased from caput to cauda. The levels of activity of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase in ejaculated spermatozoa from four 3-year-old rams and the seminal vesicles of two 3-year-old rams were insignificant, but in pooled Sertoli cells from the testes of young lambs, the specific activity was much lower than in epididymal spermatozoa although activity per cell was of the same order of magnitude. We conclude that epididymal spermatozoa contain a …

Drug Effects On Repeated Acquisition: Comparison Of Cumulative And Non‐Cumulative Dosing, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Peter J. Winsauer Jan 1983

Drug Effects On Repeated Acquisition: Comparison Of Cumulative And Non‐Cumulative Dosing, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Peter J. Winsauer

Faculty Publications

Pigeons acquired a different four‐response chain each session by responding sequentially on three keys in the presence of a sequence of four colors. The response chain was maintained by food presentation under a fixed‐ratio schedule. Errors produced a brief timeout but did not reset the chain. Each day there were four 15‐minute sessions, with a 10‐minute intersession interval. Cumulative dose‐effect curves for phencyclidine, pentobarbital, and d‐amphetamine were obtained by giving an injection before each of the four sessions; successive injections increased the cumulative dose in equally spaced logarithmic steps. For comparison, non‐cumulative doses of each drug (i.e., doses not preceded …

A Non-Hemolytic, Group B Streptococcus Infection Of Cultured Bullfrogs, Rana Catesbeiana, In Brazil., R. L. Amborski, T. G. Snider, R. L. Thune, D. D. Culley Jan 1983

A Non-Hemolytic, Group B Streptococcus Infection Of Cultured Bullfrogs, Rana Catesbeiana, In Brazil., R. L. Amborski, T. G. Snider, R. L. Thune, D. D. Culley

Faculty Publications

A systemic streptococcal infection in cultured bullfrogs in Brazil was characterized by necrotizing splenitis and hepatitis with hepatic and renal hemorrhage. A non-hemolytic Group B Streptococcus appeared to be the cause of the lesions, and the stimulus for the splenic reticuloendothelial hyperplasia observed in the animals. Stress may have been a factor in the development of the pathological condition.

Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch Jan 1983

Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

The most comprehensive description of the West German civil litigation system to appear in United States law journals, a much-admired, practice-oriented work by two United States law professors and a Hamburg judge, was published twenty-five years ago. At that moment, a commission of experts, appointed in 1955 by the Federal Ministry of Justice and called the Commission to Prepare a Reform of Civil Justice, was already deep into a thorough reexamination of the entire West German system. The stimuli for this reexamination were the eternal devils of judicial procedure everywhere: technicality, inaccessibility, and above all, delay and cost. In 1961, …

Vitamin A has, apart from its function in the visual pigments, general effects on several organs. Early signs of vitamin A deficiency include keratinization of epithelia and hyperkeratosis of the skin. To elucidate a generalized function for vitamin A, we have taken the approach of tracing the vitamin from its storage site in the liver via its blood transport by the retinol-binding protein (RBP) to its uptake by susceptible cells. We have also examined the intracellular occurrence of vitamin A as regards its binding to specific receptor proteins. Here we summarize data on the amino acid sequences of several vitamin …

Is The Period Of Rapidly Declining Adult Mortality In The United States Coming To And End?, R. Cooper, R. Cohen, A. Amiry Jan 1983

Is The Period Of Rapidly Declining Adult Mortality In The United States Coming To And End?, R. Cooper, R. Cohen, A. Amiry

Faculty Publications

Age-standardized death rates from all causes for persons age 35-74 fell 23 per cent, 1968-1979. The monotonic decline was interrupted by only one period of excess influenza mortality. In the late 1970s, however, the decline in mortality decelerated and no further decrease was observed, 1979-1981. The recurrence of epidemic influenza contributed significantly to this trend although it would appear that the underlying mortality pattern has begun to change.

On The Numbers Of Bases And Circuits In Simple Binary Matroids, James G. Oxley Jan 1983

On The Numbers Of Bases And Circuits In Simple Binary Matroids, James G. Oxley

Faculty Publications

Quirk and Seymour have shown that a connected simple graph has at least as many spanning trees as circuits. This paper extends and strengthens their result by showing that in a simple binary matroid M the quotient of the number of bases by the number of circuits is at least 2. Moreover, if M has no coloops and rank r, this quotient exceeds 6(r + 1)/19. © 1983, Academic Press Inc. (London) Limited. All rights reserved.

Variability Of Sediment Removal In A Semi-Arid Watershed, William L. Graf Jan 1983

Variability Of Sediment Removal In A Semi-Arid Watershed, William L. Graf

Faculty Publications

Field and documentary data from Walnut Gulch Watershed, an instrumented semiarid drainage basin of approximately 150 km2 (57 mi2) in southeastern Arizona, show that 83% of the alluvium removed from the basin during a 15‐year erosion episode beginning about 1930 was excavated from the highest‐order stream. The amount of alluvium removed in the erosion episode would have been equal to a covering of about 4 cm (1.6 in) over the entire basin. The rate of sediment removal during the erosion episode was 18 times greater than the rate of present channel sediment transport. Production of sediment from slopes and channel …
